	Clinical Trials Software Clinical Trials Software is used to capture and manage clinical trial data. It allows users to build their own studies, design electronic Case Report Form's (eCRFs) and conduct a full range of clinical data capture and clinical data management functions.
	Collaborative Authoring Collaborative Authoring tools allow research teams to author documents together. They range from Wikis which are web - focused to tools like Google docs and Microsoft Office Live which is focused on desktop publishing.
	Collaborative Research Environment A Collaborative Research Environment is a online application that combines and integrates several collaboration tools such as wikis, file hosting, discussion forums, chat, calendar and blogs etc.
	Content Management Systems (CMS) Content Management Systems (CMS) are used to create websites and publish documents, without the user having to know the detailed ins' and outs' of web development.
	Data Storage These Data Storage services provide a capacity and means for storing raw data. Online data storage options can be particularly useful in situations where a distributed team of researchers are working on the same data.
	File Sharing There are three modes of file sharing, f irst is for a researcher to share their own files between multiple computers (e.g. home and office), the second is for on-going shared access to a set of files for multiple researchers and the third is for one-off file transfers (often very large) from one researcher to another.
	High Performance Computing High Performance Computing is used to solve real world problems of significant scale or detail, across a diverse range of disciplines including; physics, biology, chemistry, geo-science, climate science, engineering and many others.
	Issue Tracking Issue tracking software is used to keep track of problems and tasks, including: due dates, who is responsible, outcomes and so on.
	Research Administrative Systems Many Research Administrative Systems exist to assist researchers with varying aspects of their research workflow.
	Survey Tools Conducting surveys is an important part of many research projects and where respondents are able to complete a survey electronically, there are many software tools that are able to assist.
	Utilities This category contains a variety of utilities that do not fit into any of the other categories.
	Version Control Software Version Control Software allows users to keep a repository of documents and record the history of their changes over time.
	Video Conferencing Video Conferencing allows researchers to plan and participate in video conferences from their desktop computer.
